I'm confused - why buy a vented hood if you're going to block off the vent?

 

it looks kool hahaha. I thought of the same thing and just having a vented hood for a 100 more is much more appealing. 4IG hoods

 

i would still like the vent on mine, when i get the same hood. As long as there are no rain/water issues Just in case i get caught in the rain with her

 

I like the looks of the Vented Hood it has nothing to do with cooling of the motor or anything for me (ie stock isnt vented) As you can see in the pic I posted above, even with the vent covered it doesnt look that bad. Most people dont even notice its covered until I tell them it is. I will try to get some pix of the underside so you guys have a better idea of what I did.

 

i didnt realize it was covered either. Looks good, even better if it was PAINTED and matched the car

 

I like... I want one

 

LOL, its not going to get painted...Your gonna have a field day when I get a CF Trunk to match

 

I too will be getting the CF trunk for my car, when i get the money!

 

Don't worry about a vented hood, as long as you get one that is compatable with your intake.

I have the Veilside hood. When I had the factory intake in the car I was never concerned about water getting into the intake because of the positioning of the vents. I never had a problem. Eventually I got the Speedcraft turbo kit and started to get concerned, check out the intake.


I drove through insane thunderstorms on the way home from a meet in Wilmington, NC last year and my engine bay was bone dry when I got home.

Hood Vents


You can see marks on my STB that show where the vents sit when the hood is closed.


Even with the exposed intake I haven't had any problems. I just cover it with a plastic bag when I wash the car.
